Disclaimer: As Usual.
The mushy AsuKira starts here. By the way, if Athrun and Kira's characterization is completely whacked, I apologize, they're hard to write oO;;
I'm writing this while listening to Shoot for the Future! -Yzak Jule's character song. That's such a beautiful song –swoon–
To PaperFish: And yet, I seem to be pleasing a lot of DeaYza fans (myself included). I'm not insulting you or your intelligence here but one would think that a fan of Hetero SEED pairings would keep away from story summaries that start off with a Dearka loves Yzak and Yzak loves Dearka. Like it or not, that's about as Yaoi as one summary can get. By the way, I would refrain from nagging and flaming me because I write Yaoi stories, because those kinds of reviews will just be laughed at and ridiculed. By the way, I am a fan of Miriallia (I don't know, nor care who Shiho is), but I like Dearka with Yzak more, so there :P
Just for everyone's information, I have written/currently writing- about five SEED one-shots and all of them are or have hints of Slash/Yaoi/Shounen-ai. That's who I am (Fangirl). That's what I like (dude on dude action) and I don't change for anyone. It's actually a simple case of if you like, read. If you don't like, hey, I'm not forcing you.
Another thing, the last, I promise; I have decided to make this story more than two chapters, it will, instead, have six chapters in total, which I have written five of them. One last thing. I'm not too fond of Cagalli, nor do I really want to write her, she will just be referred to twice in the whole story.
When the Wedding Bells Chime.
Part Two: Of Pawns and Plots.
"Athrun, are you ready yet? We're going to be late," Kira's voice floated upstairs where his, previously best friend, presently boyfriend, was getting ready.
"Coming."
Kira heard Athrun's muffled voice followed by a couple of footsteps signalling his presence, "Really, Athrun, you take longer than Lacus to get ready."
A red tinge crept onto Athrun's cheeks, "Jus-oh, c'mon, Kira," he grabbed the grinning Kira by the arm and pulled him out the door.
When they were clear off the driveway, cruising down the road over looking the sparkly blue sea, Kira turned to Athrun, who was driving the red convertible. "What do you think Dearka wants all of a sudden? I mean, he hasn't been in touch since the end of the war and now, suddenly."
"I don't know," he answered truthfully, "I'm positive it has something to do with Yzak. It always has something to do with Yzak."
"What do you expect, Athrun," Kira smiled at him, "they're in love."
Athrun shared a moment with Kira, gazing into each other eyes.
"But seriously, why would he need you if it has something to do with Yzak? I always thought he hated your guts."
"He does," Athrun turned his attention back to the road, his hair whipping in the winds as the convertible cruised down the road, "I'm sure I won't enjoy it, in any case."
"Why do you say that?" Kira shot Athrun a look of interest.
"I don't know," his eyebrow twitched slightly, "you could call it a hunch."
- - - - -
"Hi, Athrun. It's been a long time, ne? So … how are you? Good? Good. I'm sure you're wondering why I called you here today … out of the blue so to speak. You see … I'd like you to wear help me get Yzak into a dress-No, no; too straightforward. I need to be … cooler. Do you know how hot Yzak looks in a dress? He is, you know …" Dearka paced the rocky footpath in the park where he had asked to meet Athrun.
The sun was shining brightly over the terrain, birds flying around in the skies; one would never have imaged something sinister to be brewing in the background.
"… Yzak. How I love Yzak. You should understand how that feels like, Athrun," Dearka sighed exasperatedly, "overly dramatic … I'll never pull this off," he collapsed backwards onto one of the park benches, covering his eyes with his forearm, "I need help. I need someone to show me the way. I need –"
"Dearka?"
The sudden voice brought him out of him trance, "Athrun?"
"No, it's the tooth fairy."
The person was hovering over him, standing in the way of the sun, the light on the horizon casting a shadow over the figure, making it nearly impossible to make out their identity.
"Yzak?" Dearka knew it wasn't Yzak; the voice was much to feminine, but he just blurted the first name that came to mind, and that phrase reminded him of Yzak … among all the other things.
"Jerk."
The person walked out of the sun's beam; only then did Dearka realized who it was.
"Miri, wait!"
Miriallia turned to him, raising an indifferent eyebrow, "Oh, you actually do remember my name?"
Dearka grinned sheepishly, "Sorry. I had a lot of things on my mind."
"I noticed," Miriallia had a half-smirk on her face, "Athrun and Yzak? I didn't know you had it in you, Dearka. Threesome's are kinky, especially with the both of them."
"Haha, very funny," he looked at her with half-moon eyes.
Silence ensued for a few seconds, as the both of them were a loss at things to say, having not encountered each other since the battle at Jachin Due.
"So …" Dearka ran a hand through his hair, "how are you?"
Miriallia smiled, "I've been doing okay. What about you? By the way, what are you doing down here in Orb? Not official PLANT business, I assume, seeing as you're out of uniform."
Dearka looked away, his cheeks starting to heat up. Miriallia noticed the sudden change in his skins colouration, interested, she moved closer to him until her face was inches away from his.
"Okay, what are you planning?" she raised both eyebrows, "something important probably, since you came all the way down here. Does it have anything to do with Athrun? Or Yzak? Or Athrun and Yzak? Sheesh, you'd think you knew a person."
"Nothing like that, Miri," Dearka sighed, "not exactly, anyway. I just …" he trailed off, looking up to study an abandoned cocoon.
"Mhmm, I can't say that this speechless Dearka isn't really making me curious. It must be something good, considering the last time you were speechless was the time I attempted to stab you in the head."
"Err … well …" he ran the other hand through his wavy blonde locks. Figuring that he had nothing to loose by tell her, just his pride and dignity, but he had just called up Athrun in an attempt to get him to help work Yzak into a dress; his pride and dignity were long gone. So he spilled out everything concerning his dream, the wedding, up till the point where Yzak turned into Captain Kleuze. Dearka could barely hold back a shudder at the memory.
"… and then, he said 'Ensign Elthman' and poof; no more Yzak."
Miriallia gaped back at him. Anything she was about to say had died on her lips.
Dearka expected this kind of reaction and gave her a few minutes to regain her bearing before popping the big question.
"So, will you help me?"
Miriallia stared at him, speechless and stunned, before bursting out into laughter.
Dearka expected this reaction as well, "I know it's extremely hilarious, but I'm being serious."
Grabbing a tree to steady herself, Miriallia attempted to catch her breath, "Sorry, Dearka," she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "I'm not laughing at you, in all honesty, but … wanting to get Yzak into a dress? Do you have a death wish?"
"I know, I know. Are you going to help me or not?"
"And miss out on blackmail material? Never. So, what's your plan?"
"Err …" the ex-Buster pilot sweat-dropped. The cat was now out of the bag, so he decided that he might as well just spill everything, "well, you see … Athrun-"
"Ah!" Miriallia raised a hand, signalling that he needn't say any more, "I see where you're going with this," her lips twitched, "You're going to get Athrun to wear a dress in order to invoke Yzak's competitive side, and trick him into wearing one too."
"Something like that … how did you know?"
"Please, Dearka. That is such a woman thing to do."
His eyebrow twitched.
"And when is our poor pawn going to get here?"
"He should arrive any minute now."
They heard a loud roaring in the background and after a while, the sound of tires screeching to a halt, and knew that Athrun had arrived.
- - - - -
"Are you sure we can't turn back?" Athrun turned a pair of big emerald eyes on Kira.
"You already promised him, Athrun," Kira had already gotten out of the car and was now moving towards the driver's side where Athrun was, "C'mon," he opened the car door and grabbed Athrun's elbow, pulling him out gently, "besides, how bad can it be?"
"With Dearka? I don't know … he normally just schemed with Yzak and the victim was more often that not, me-" Athrun was silenced in the middle of his sentence when he felt Kira's warm lips against his, closing his eyes to value the pleasure more, he deepened the kiss. When the brunette finally pulled back, Athrun opened his eyes and gave his boyfriend a look, "what was that for?"
"No reason," Kira smiled, "you just look cute when you're suspicious."
Athrun couldn't help a small smiled from surfacing, "Or are you just trying to convince me to go though with this meeting?"
"Maybe … now let's go," he linked his elbow with Athrun's and pulled him to where they were supposed to meet Dearka, "I've been meaning to ask you, by the way."
"What's that?"
"How's it going between you and Cagalli? Is she speaking to you yet?"
Athrun ran his free hand through his long blue hair, "Not exactly. I guess she's still angry that I didn't tell her about us."
"Don't worry about it, Athrun. She'll get over it sooner or later," Kira looked up to the blue sky, as the image of a certain Pink Princess came to mind, "though, don't you think it was funny that Lacus had that knowing smile on her face when we told her. It was like she knew all along."
"I wouldn't be surprised," Athrun thought back to his ex-fiancée, "she does that sometimes."
The both of them continued on the pathway in silence, silently wondering what was so important that Dearka came all the way down to Orb to meet with his former Captain.
- - - - -
"Dearka?" Yzak poked his head into the bedroom, eyes glancing around looking for any sign of his blonde roommate. Failing to detect his presence in the room, he narrowed his eyes and walked back into the hall, where the hell is he?
Originally, Yzak had no intention of acknowledging Dearka's presence when he came home, much less actually call him, but finding the house completely deserted and the second car gone without any type of note telling him where he went, Yzak's couldn't help but become a little bothered. Kisama … Yzak growled, "where the hell are you, Dearka!"
There was no reply.
Annoyed by the fact that Dearka was out somewhere, without him, Yzak stomped into the main hallway. His eyes wondered over to the blinking light on the answering machine by the coffee table and walked over to it; pressing the red button for playback, he heard a very familiar (and hated) voice ring out from the machine.
'Dearka, it's Athrun. I got your message this morning and I assume that it wasn't a request. Anyway, just so you know, I'm bringing Kira along … let's make sure that it's not for moral support. Beep.'
Yzak stared at the offending machine for a long moment, fury burning though his blue eyes as his brain processed what he just heard.
"Dearka …" he seethed, gritting his teeth, "Asu … ran and … Strike …" his words practically dripped venom as memories of the Strike pilot flashed though his brain. Sure, he had warned him of the GENESIS at Jachin Due; he did spare Yzak's life at Joshua, but it didn't mean that he forgave him fully; the both of them never did get a formal introduction during the aftermath of the battle, what with both sides being incredibly busy in cleaning up the mess caused by GENESIS and the Earth Alliances' nuclear missiles.
Now, to find out that Dearka's having a meeting with him and Athrun, whom Yzak still disliked, behind his back; to say that it didn't sit right with the silver haired Duel pilot would be an understatement. Pulling out a phone from his pocket and gripping it tightly within his grasps, Yzak waited for the person on the other side to pick up before barking out, "Jule here. Ready the ZAKU, immediately," before throwing it with all his might against the opposite end of the room, where it smashed into pieces.
"Dearka …" he spat out his friends name and trudged determinedly out the door, ready to inflict some severe damage on the blonde haired Buster pilot.
End Part Two.
Firstly: ;; Duel was some hot piece of Gundam ass, damn it! But I'm pretty sure that after the truce between ZAFT and the EA, they had to return both Duel and Buster to the EA, so I had to have Yzak go in the Slash ZAKU Phantom, which is a hot piece of ZAKU ass, but Duel still rules my world. One other little thing; 'Slash' ZAKU:D They're just trying to kill us, aren't they?
Secondly: I spelt Athrun as Asuran in Yzak's speech just to give the sentence a little more oomph:D You've got to love the way Yzak-sama says Strike. Pure loathing I tell you.
Thirdly: Let us, for a second, pretend that Athrun has a special phone that can make intergalactic calls, ne nn;; And considering that they fly gigantic metal robots, can change their eye colours to mono, kill off people like flies, let's believe that regular sky travel between Earth and PLANT are a normal occurrence.
Fourthly: I do like Miriallia, quite a lot and she will play a vital role in the flow of this story. I hope I wrote her character alright, I did nick some characterising on her from On Boyfriends –loves that story– 3 But she and Dearka are just friends.
Thanks to:

I owe my obsession all to you. Thanks for reading my other story too, by the way; you can be sure that there's more that that came from.
xxravenwingxx: I reread the whole thing three times, but I guess you can't get all of them, ne, those slinky little grammatical buggers. Hope you like this chapter.
RuByMoOn17: Hope you like this chapter nn
Spyrit Pheonyx: Yes, Reiven has indeed stepped forth into the realm of Gundam SEED Fandom :D I actually read a few AsuKira stories from you before, but that was when I didn't watch SEED yet. Yes, oddly enough, I read SEED Fanfiction before I watched the anime, and I watched SEED Destiny before I watched SEED xD;; Also, I have decided to make this longer than two chapters, so rejoice.
Kougaluv: Here's the update. Hope you enjoy.
The Evil Maid: Thanks; hope you enjoy.
Review!
